“The Fantastic Voyage” Opening Reception

DATE AND TIME: Jan 21, 2018 2:00pm

On View at the New Freshkills Park Studio + Gallery
2240 Richmond Avenue, Staten Island, NY
January 21 – May 20, 2018

Stefani Bardin and Assaf Tamir’s “The Fantastic Voyage” is an immersive installation exploring the role of food production in our personal health and the health of the environment. The multimedia and living installation displays footage from the first ever human subject trial using the Pill Cam gastroenterology device.

“The Fantastic Voyage” details and deconstructs how the human body responds to processed versus less processed and whole foods. The exhibit(s), both visual and scientific, make what is invisible, visible; and provide pathways toward regaining agency in our food system and a more holistic stewardship of our planet.

This is the first exhibition in the new Freshkills Park Studio + Gallery. The space will be open on select days for programs and viewing hours.
